We have a very busy billing service. Our Billing Services Staff are constantly making notes in files, on invoices and reports. These notes are all handwritten. Our staff love this pen and it is the only pen they will use. They love that the ink does not smear like gel or other brands of ball point pens. The Medium Point allows the words to be clear and easy to read. Our staff many times will leave the caps off and there is no issue with ink drying out or the need to refresh the ink. Will continue to purchase only these pens.

Pens have been a necessary writin instrument for ages. And yet, it seems like, finding the pen that's right can prove to be quite a chore, sometimes. You can find numerous varieties of ball point pens in all the different office supply stores, gift shops, stationary stores and even the corner convenience store, so when I purchased this BIC® Xtra Comfort Round Stic Grip Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point, Blue, I really just expected it to be regular, unsignificant pens. But surprisingly, these pens are super. The ink flows very smoothly, and the color is very consistent.I would specify these pens on my next purchase!

The writing is great, once you get the cap off and wear down the grip. The grip area makes the cap stick to the pen. When removing the cap, the pen starts to pull apart, especially the first few times using it. However, after multiple uses, the grip wears enough that the pen no longer pulls apart when removing the cap. Other than that, I like the pen.

First off, I want to say that everyone in our office is a big fan of these pens. When I first used one of these pens my breath was taken from me, and "At Last" by Etta James began playing in my head. We work in a refrigerated warehouse, and most pens barely work in the cold. These are the only ink pens that work well in cold temperatures. I don't know why, but other BIC pens don't work as well as these little guys. When I hold one in my hand,the writing flows across the page, I feel like I am watching Disney on Ice's presentation of Frozen, and the "Let it go" song is cranked all the way up to 11! I recently ordered(accidentally)some of the "Other" blue BIC pens, and one of our Warehouse guys came in the office with a sad look on his face :( . Luckily, I have a few back up pens just in case. He grabbed one, and went back into the freezing cold warehouse with a glow that warmed the hearts of everyone in the room. ;) We just love these pens.

I signoff on many documents daily in my job and home business . The medium blue color pen is best for this task because it shows up clearly on scanned or faxed documents requiring multiple signoffs. My co-workers come by my desk a lot to ask for my pens. My tween kids as well.
